'''Fireball'''s | '''Fireball'''s are small [[projectile]]s launched by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] as their [[Standard Special Move]]s. Each travels a short distance, causing minor damage and [[flinch]]ing common to fire-based attacks. The ball's trajectory changes according to the stage's surface angle upon contact, though with different results for each character. Mario's ability to shoot fireballs provides the design justification for his other [[fire]]-based moves in the Smash series. | ||
Fireballs were initially larger in [[Super Smash Bros.|SSB]], decreasing in size with [[Melee]] & [[Brawl]]. As with all standard specials, [[Kirby]] can also use Fireball after swallowing either [[Inhale]]d brother. | Fireballs were initially larger in [[Super Smash Bros.|SSB]], decreasing in size with [[Melee]] & [[Brawl]].

Luigi's green fireballs travel in a straight line and are unaffected by gravity (matching his [[floaty]] motif) and drift around in a circle, rather than rolling like Mario's. Also, despite the fact Luigi's fireballs are green, they still make red-orange burn animations upon impact. They can be easily [[spam]]med, and can be fired at a slightly faster pace than Mario's, especially in the [[Negative Zone]] (Luigi's final smash). When firing at stage elements, the projectile's path will change based on the contact angle. As such, the move is more useful when used toward upward slopes, continuing on to foes. The move is more difficult to use on downward slopes, passing over enemies. Fireball [[approach]] is perhaps more difficult than with Mario, as the attack does not fall when used in the air. In general, Luigi's special attack is contextually less useful than Mario's, as it only travels in only one direction (forward), where Mario's move in two (forward, and downward). It also travels less distance. Luigi's fireballs deal slightly more damage than Mario's. | Luigi's green fireballs travel in a straight line and are unaffected by gravity (matching his [[floaty]] motif) and drift around in a circle, rather than rolling like Mario's.
